Earlier efforts to detect DLA host galaxies either in continuum emission or nebular line emission have been moderately successful in completely blind surveys, with a detection rate of \(\sim 10\%\)  [1]}, with several studies mostly resulting in non-detections
[2]}, [3]}, [4]}.
Leveraging the observed correlation between luminosity and metallicity in galaxies
[5]}, [6]}, [7]}, [8]}, recent campaigns have focused instead on metal-rich DLAs, resulting in a far higher detection rate of \(\approx 65\%\)  [9]}, [10]}, [11]}, [12]}.
